Google周一(5/13)宣布,已與蘋果針對藍牙追蹤裝置共同建立「偵測不必要位置追蹤器」(Detecting Unwanted Location Trackers)的業界規範,讓不管是Android手機或是iPhone都可以在偵測到附近有奇怪的藍牙追蹤裝置時提醒使用者。

在蘋果於2021年發表AirTag追蹤器之後,便不時傳出有人利用此一原本用來追蹤物品的裝置來追蹤個人,Google更曾於Android上部署不明追蹤警告,以讓Android用戶也能偵測身旁的不明AirTag。

不過,Google與蘋果在去年5月宣布合作,針對位置追蹤裝置的配件製造商訂定了最佳實踐與協議,以讓這些追蹤裝置能夠相容於不必要的追蹤偵測,並於行動平臺上發出警告,無論追蹤裝置是與哪個行動作業系統配對,目的是提高使用者的隱私與安全,以避免使用者在不知情的狀況下遭到追蹤。

Google正將該規範部署於Android 6.0以上的裝置,而蘋果則於周一釋出的 iOS 17.5加入了該功能。

倘若Android或iPhone用戶在裝置上收到了「追蹤器正跟著你」(Tracker traveling with you)的警告,便代表有其它的AirTag、相容於Google Find My Device網路的追蹤器,或者是來自其它廠商的追蹤器正在追蹤使用者。除了遞送警告之外,使用者還可查看追蹤器的識別碼,讓追蹤器播放聲音,以及取得如何停用該追蹤器的說明。

目前包括Chipolo、eufy、Jio、Motorola與Pebblebee等追蹤器製造商,都已承諾要於未來的產品支援該規範。

至於Google及蘋果則將繼續透過Detecting Unwanted Location Trackers工作小組,來與網際網路工程任務小組(Internet Engineering Task Force,IETF)合作,以推動官方技術標準的建立。
